Arizona Unemployment Insurance

Does the State of Arizona try to cheat people out of Unemployment Insurance?

Travis Cole says you have to have an address to collect unemployment

    On Monday October 18, 2010 sometime in the afternoon, maybe around 3 p.m. I went to the DES office at:
163 N Dobson
Mesa, AZ
85201
and talked to Arizona DES reemployment specialist Travis Cole.

I didn't make an appointment or anything and Mr. Cole was standing behind the counter or desk with a few other people so I asked him a few questions.

The most important question I asked him was

Do I have to have an address to file and collect unemployment?
He answered several times a definite YES that having a mailing address was required to collect Arizona unemployment insurance.

He gave me several lame reasons on how I could get an address to use for my unemployment application and I though all of them were lame excuses designed to keep me from getting unemployment.

The reasons were:

   
 

Use a friends address. I am an introverted homeless person and I don't have any friends.
Get a post office box. Back in the old days before American was a full blown police state I had a PO box.

But in the current American Police State (after 9/11) I don't have the required IDs needed to prove I am not a criminal and get a post office box.

Use a homeless shelter for your mailing address. I don't sleep at a homeless shelter. And I don't want to go to a homeless shelter because the police might harass me for being homeless.

 
   
Mr. Travis Cole did tell me that I could use the phones in the DES office at his location to call the folks at the DES and asked them more questions about the matter.

I told him that last time I read about people calling DES and asking question I read that they often put you on hold for 5 or 6 hours.

Mr. Travis Cole assured me that was a thing of the past and they no longer put people on hold for 5 or 6 hours.

He said it would only take 3 hours at the most of being put on hold to call the DES hot line and get an answer.

I wanted to say "Wow! you guys sure have improved things! You down to a lousy 3 hours on hold." But I figured one of the guards in the building might arrest me for making fun of the government.

No Guns Allowed in Unemployment Office

I was pretty angry when I went into this unemployment office and noticed a sign that said something to the effect:
No Guns Allowed
It makes me angry when government tyrants flush the Constitution and Bill of Rights down the toilet. Or in this case they are flushing the 2nd Amendment down the toilet.

The courts have ruled that it is OK for the government tyrants to flush the Second Amendment down the toilet and ban guns as long as they allow you to "check" your weapon when you enter the building.

Of course the tyrants at this Arizona DES building are not complying with that Arizona law and allowing people they wish to disarm to check their guns.
